Each unit introduces new language and activities through an exciting ‘surprise’. As your students mature, so does the surprise, guaranteeing that they will be engaged and motivated in every lesson. From the Starter level to level 3 the ‘surprise’ is a package from Uncle Harry containing an interesting object and a story, while in levels 4 and 5 the characters unlock a mysterious chest, packed full of wonderful ‘surprise’ objects from their story-writing granny.

Each level has three beautifully illustrated stories, from a wide range of genres. Every story has been carefully selected to appeal to the imaginations and interests of your students.

A rich variety of resources including stunning story posters, flashcards, interactive story books on the MultiROM, and helpful suggestions for mimes and gestures in the Teacher’s Book, make it easy for you to bring the exciting stories to life.

Cross-curricular lessons and celebration units introduce students to interesting real-world information which gets them thinking about new topics in English.

And, the Test and Evaluation Booklet gives you lots of help assessing pupils, with evaluation grids and unit tests, plus lots of material for students’ portfolios including end-of-course certificates which can be shown to parents.
